[mod_python] Re: Mod_python Digest, Vol 10, Issue 15

I haven't seen anything that standardizes the way SSL should create
vars, and I think there is difference even between Apache-SSL and
mod_ssl in naming.  You can get the port, 443, which is the standard for
SSL, but that doesn't mean SSL is in use.  However, given you need a
separate virtural host on port 443 for the ssl configuration, you can
easily add a PythonOption there as well to know if you are in SSL or
not.
